need help with SDA-SRS

well, this actually sounds better when it is backwards:( this is part of the problem we are discussing. hopefully we will get it resolved:)

Did both the large/large and small/small blades read zero?
The color check on the wires will tell us which speaker is the right channel and which is left, regardless of the labels on the back.
There's just 4 screws that hold the binding post plate on, wouldn't take you a minute tonight.Political Correctness'.........defined

ok, I am actually at work until 730am, I am a RN, so I work from 7pm-730am:eek:So I will do this first thing when I get home. I am very interested to see what shows up:rolleyes:Yes both read zero, so I assume this is a good thing -
Ok, the cable is good.
Another thing to check tomorrow. Looking at both speakers from the back, check that the red binding post nuts are on the right side, black nuts on the left.
Also, check that you have the right channel speaker cable from your amp going to the right channel speaker, etc.Political Correctness'.........defined

if memory serves me correctly, they look the same for both speakers. Black posts on the left, red on the right. -
Wait a sec, it appears that they are in the proper location. The SRS's are different than mine.Political Correctness'.........defined

yep, they look just like the pics I posted yesterday, black on left, red on right:D -
Eh, I didn't look at those pics.

Right speaker blue over green, Left speaker green over black. I do notice that on the right speaker the green wire is not soldered to the post, the wire is still in but it is a little loose:eek:
-
I have soldered the connection:) on the back of the right sub bass radiator it says EB 2-13-86, on the left is says DV 7-1-86, so apparently these were made in 1986.
-
this is the set up I have going for now (FedEx seems to have misplaced my NAD)

For some reason in the back of my mind there's something that tells me that the blade-blade interconnects must have continuity from the thin blade to the wide blade. Am I crazy???_________________________________________________

SOPAThank God for different opinions. Imagine the world if we all wanted the same woman -
yeah, if I try and check the continuity of the blades on the same plug I get no reading. I have moved the speakers to the correct position after the solder job and they now sound very good, but still no luck with the balance issue.:(
-
Again, what I said might be totally crazy, but for some reason I have that idea.
What you need to do is measure continuity between the two plugs, wide blade with wide blade, thin blade with thin blade....._________________________________________________

Yes, of course you are -

yep, see earlier in the post:)This set up I have going now sounds the best it has sounded sice I got it. Just need to figure out the balance issue:mad: -
Right speaker blue over green, Left speaker green over black.
Polk used black or blue for positive and white or green for negative, so those are wired correctly.Political Correctness'.........defined

I have never been clear on that and since I've never owned blade/blade SDA's, I've never bee able to check that.
Can we get a blade/blade owner with the stock cable to test theirs?Political Correctness'.........defined

F1nut how does the IC cable connect to the XO board. Is it those .110 fast ons? I can't remember. There may be something loose going to the board from the IC socket?Please.

I live in Illinois, about 30 miles from St.louis. What exactly is the purpose of hearing a little music when the balance is turned to the other speaker?Ok, thanks Ben.

We may have some troops out there:) Hopefully they will chime in.

Hmmmm.....too far from me.
The sound you hear from one speaker when the balance is turned all the way to the other speaker is the crosstalk cancellation signal.Political Correctness'.........defined

IIRC, they are the fastons. Worth checking the connections for sure.Political Correctness'.........defined

when I had the cover plate on the back I looked to make sure the connections were ok to the crossover, they looked ok, they connect to the bottom of the crossover:) -
do we think this is a problem with the crossover then
I would like to rule out all other possibilities before I have to yank that out:eek: -
I did not notice any loose connections on the crossover.:) Off the subject, but what is the white discoloration around the center of some of the drivers I have noticed this on my 4a's also.
